Abstract: A connector configured to connect densely disposed cables to a board. The connector may include two or more rows of terminals held by a housing such that the two or more rows of terminals are at a same height with respect to a board that the connector would be mounted to. Such a configuration enables the connector to fit into a space limited by, for example, another component mounted to the board. The terminals may include first contact portions configured to be mounted onto a surface of the board when pressure is applied to the terminals so as to avoid the use of materials that may cause undesired shorting such as soldering materials. The terminals may include second contact portions configured to receive the cables. The second contact portions of ground terminals of a same row may be connected by a strip configured to contact shields of cables attached to the row.

Abstract: A receptacle connector having a plurality of airflow holes positioned to avoid heat buildup inside a receptacle shell, preventing deformation to the housing of a short, high density connector during solder reflow. The airflow holes may be in a bent portion joining a top face and rear face of the shell. The receptacle connector may be mounted to a substrate, such as a printed circuit board, leaving a gap between the connector and the substrate, forming an airflow passage between the substrate and the receptacle connector, enabling heated air to reach mounting portions of terminals of the connector during soldering, but reducing heat buildup within the shell. The passage, alone or in combination with a cutout in a face of the shell, may expose terminal contacts of the receptacle connector to provide for easy inspection and rework of the solder joints between the terminal contacts and the substrate.

Abstract: A connector assembly configured for compact, high speed electronic systems. The assembly includes a board connector and a cable connector that may be mated by moving the cable connector in a mating direction perpendicular to a printed circuit board to which the board connector is mounted. The cable and board connectors may latch when mated and may be unlatched and unmated by pulling on a tab at a top of the cable connector in a direction opposite the mating direction. As a result, little clearance is required around the board connector to access the latching components. Such a connector may enable an electronic device with high signal integrity because the connector can be mounted close to an electronic component that processes high speed signals, providing a short, and high integrity signal paths for high speed signals.

Abstract: A foot tendon exercising apparatus includes a base, a footplate pivoted to the base, a driving mechanism installed in the base and adapted to turn the footplate relative to the base to a desired tilted position, an upright support upwardly extended from a front side of the base, and a control switch mounted on the upright support and adapted to control the operation of the driving mechanism.

Abstract: A modular body builder frame box is of a rectangular construction and is capable of being rested securely on a ground surface or against a wall. The frame box has a receiving compartment extending from a front side thereof toward a rear side thereof. The receiving compartment is provided in two side walls with a pivoting recess in proximity of the bottom of the receiving compartment. The pivoting recess is used for pivoting a predetermined part of a body building device such that the body building device can be swiveled between a standby position and a storage position, and that the body building device is rested on a ground surface at such time when the body building device is located at the standby position, and further that the body building device is contained in the receiving compartment of the frame box at such time when the body building device is located at the storage position.
